Amanda Shires - White Feather lyrics
[Amanda Shires - White Feather lyrics]
In a field in Ohio
I changed into a scarecrow's clothes
To learn some of the secret songs he knows
I ran through the day and into the night
To be the one doin'
The frightening, it's freein', i suppose
Could be learned behavior to fold
And call it failure
'Cause you're terrified of showin' your hand
I think you feel safer mumbling your prayers
To a God you don't understand
You don't understand you don't understand
In a pool of water
I saw my reflection sink low
And a vision of our future rose
We're drownin' in diamonds
Borrowed and charged
On a boat with no compass or
A sky with no stars
It could be learned behavior to
Fold and call it failure
'Cause you're terrified of showin' your hand
I think you feel safer mumbling your prayers
To a God you don't understand
You don't understand you don't understand
Jesus can't stop laughin'
If he could he'd just start cryin'
Sings "You hear me, girl, I know you can"
It's easy to be quiet and easy to be silent
When you're afraid of what
You don't understand
What you don't understand
What you don't understand
I sat back in the grass
Inside a galaxy of gnats
And I let the bats in my brain loose
I could see clearly a raven landing near me
Wavin' a white feather, calling for a truce
I changed into a scarecrow's clothes
To learn some of the secret songs he knows
I ran through the day and into the night
To be the one doin'
The frightening, it's freein', i suppose
Could be learned behavior to fold
And call it failure
'Cause you're terrified of showin' your hand
I think you feel safer mumbling your prayers
To a God you don't understand
You don't understand you don't understand
In a pool of water
I saw my reflection sink low
And a vision of our future rose
We're drownin' in diamonds
Borrowed and charged
On a boat with no compass or
A sky with no stars
It could be learned behavior to
Fold and call it failure
'Cause you're terrified of showin' your hand
I think you feel safer mumbling your prayers
To a God you don't understand
You don't understand you don't understand
Jesus can't stop laughin'
If he could he'd just start cryin'
Sings "You hear me, girl, I know you can"
It's easy to be quiet and easy to be silent
When you're afraid of what
You don't understand
What you don't understand
What you don't understand
I sat back in the grass
Inside a galaxy of gnats
And I let the bats in my brain loose
I could see clearly a raven landing near me
Wavin' a white feather, calling for a truce
